Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 34: Nie Jin

Chapter 34: Nie Jin

“Inheritance left behind by your master, Nie Jin?” Yang Wei mumbled the words he heard softly.

Afterward, he looked at Old Ling in surprise that his action was related to his master.

“What does your master, Nie Jin, want from us?” Yang Wei asked in confusion.

He has never met with Nie Jin so it was puzzling that Nie Jin wanted something from them.

Also, he was definitely a prominent cultivator to be able to have a Xiantian cultivator as a disciple.

Old Ling used his spiritual sense to look at the room to see if Elder Jing is still asleep.

Nodding his head slightly, Old Ling decided to cast a soundproof barrier around them for extra security.

Yang Wei didn’t ask why he was being this cautious and calmly waited for his answer.

“My master, Nie Jin, was similar to you, Yang Wei. His soul did not belong to this world and came from somewhere else.” Old Ling said solemnly.

‘His soul did not belong to this world? Does that mean Nie Jin has his own soul back on Earth?’ Yang Wei ponders inwardly as he wrinkled his eyebrow to try and connect the dots.

Old Ling laughs when he sees Yang Wei being confused about his master.

“Although I’ve said my master is similar to you, his soul does not come from the world you belong in your previous life. He was from another world without spiritual qi supplying them when the master came to this Mortal world.”

Yang Wei almost got a headache from this puzzling information he’s gotten. It was like he got the grasp of the whole point and in the end, it was just a dead end.

Old Ling stroked his beard lightly and continued, “My master was one who became the dazzling light during the desolate era. He cultivates to a height that no one can possibly reach and split the sky open to ascend to the higher world.”

Old Ling’s eyes filled with admiration whenever he mentioned his master and reminisced his time with him.

“Uhh, Senior Ling?” Yang Wei said when Old Ling became dazed and stopped his explanation.

‘At this rate, it’ll be forever before we get to the main point.’ Yang Wei complained inwardly when Old Ling started acting like some old man without any cultivation base.

“Hmph, it’s called remembering the good old time’s brat. Whatever my point is that the pagoda includes an immortal grade technique that my master created before leaving this world. Also, it’s a grade above the martial technique in this world so spare the questioning.” Old Ling scoffed and finished explaining everything in one go.

Although Yang Wei is still confused on why getting the immortal grade technique has anything to do with matching him and Elder Jing up, he could only stay silent.

Old Ling has a grave expression when he talks about the immortal grade technique reward.

‘The immortal technique must be something amazing that could change the world order for Senior Ling to be this caution.’ Yang Wei said inwardly as it was his turn to talk.

However, there was nothing useful besides telling Old Ling that when he was unconscious during their second test, someone informed him of the pagoda appearing soon.𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

Old Ling nodded and concluded that the shadow was a remnant soul-conscious that his master left behind for those who can obtain his inheritance.

“My master has waited for a long time before finding a suitable candidate to receive his inheritance. The immortal technique was just a bonus and I won’t tell you what to prepare so you can save your flowery words.” Old Ling smirked as he saw through Yang Wei’s intention.

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulder in response. ‘I will find out the truth later on but who said I have to go to that pagoda.’

Meanwhile, Old Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Wei fiercely, “I won’t force you to go to the pagoda but if you want to be a prominent cultivator then you must fight and reach the top floor of the pagoda.”

“There are many other ways to become a peerless cultivator beside that pagoda which I have no information of the danger behind.” Yang Wei calmly replied.

‘It’s about time you tell me the information now, Senior Ling.’ Yang Wei’s back begins to sweat if Old Ling disregards him completely.

It was a given that he would go to the pagoda no matter the circumstance to improve his cultivation.

He has no resources nor background and if he refuses to risk his life in some unknown danger then he should just give up being a cultivator.

A cultivator is a person who strives through any danger to improve themselves and complete the impossible. They are never one to cower in fear of death.

Those who fear death are destined to be stepping stones for others who are the true cultivator with unparalleled talent.

Old Ling simply rolled his eyes in the nonchalant attitude of Yang Wei. ‘You think I’m easy to fool just because I’m old. Try better next time.’

Old Ling was not going to fall for his pity act and turned around to leave.

Yang Wei was dumbfounded by his failed gamble. “Tch, some great seniors you are to not properly guide the junior.”

Old Ling twitched his mouth with an irritated look. “Hmph, if it weren’t for this senior, would you be able to condense a battle spirit? If it weren’t for this senior, would you be able to get closer with Little Jing? How dare you exclaim those blasphemy words of yours?”

Yang Wei was speechless with Old Ling’s outburst. Without anything else to counter because everything he said was true, Yang Wei cupped his fist and apologized.

“I’m sorry Senior Ling, it was rude of me to say that.” A sincere tone echoed toward Old Ling.

Afterward, Yang Wei turned around to walk back into the room to take care of Elder Jing.

Old Ling smiled as he looked at his back. ‘Hmph, consider yourself lucky to meet this generous old man.’

Without Yang Wei noticing anything, Old Ling sent something into his body and flew away. ‘This may or may not be our last time meeting, Little Jing and Yang Wei.’
